Intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+](i)) transients and transsarcolemmal Ca2+ currents were measured in indo 1-loaded isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes during whole cell voltage clamp to quantitate the components of cytosolic Ca2+ influx and to describe the dynamic aspects of cytosolic Ca2+ buffering during steady-state contraction (0.5 Hz, 22 degrees C). Sarcolemmal Ca2+ influx was directly measured from the integrated Ca2+ current (I-Ca) recorded during the clamp (158 +/- 10 attomoles; amol). Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content was determined from the integrated electrogenic Na+/Ca2+ exchange current (I-X) induced during rapid application and sustained exposure of cells to caffeine to elicit the release of the SR Ca2+ load (1,208 +/- 170 amol). The mean steady-state SR Ca2+ load was calculated to be 87 +/- 131 mu M (pmol/l nonmitochondrial cytosolic volume). Ca2+ influx via I-Ca represented similar to 14% of the stored SR Ca2+ and 23% of the total cytosolic Ca2+ flux during a twitch (47 +/- 6 mu M) Comparison of electrophysiologically measured Ca2+ fluxes with Ca2+ transients yields apparent buffering values of 60 for caffeine contractures and 110 for twitches (Delta Ca2+ total/Delta Ca2+ free). This is consistent with the occurrence of ''active'' buffering of cytosolic Ca2+ by SR Ca2+ uptake during the twitch.
